They suspects demanded the couple get up and give them their seats and they refused, sparking the assault.
The assault left the 42-year-old with a cut that he refused medical attention for.
The three suspects got off at Times Square and faded into the crowd.
There has been a marked surge in violent crime in NYC subways that have seen marauders dressed all in green terrorizing straphangers, victims thrown onto the tracks, and children being stabbed to death.
As city subway crime is up 41 percent this year, Mayor Eric Adams told his citizens on Friday that the solution to warding off violent criminals is to stop looking at phones and listening to music as New Yorkers make their commute.
New York City subway riders say that personal safety and security are their number one concern while riding the transit system, according to data from a recent MTA survey.
Overall crime is up 34.4 percent across New York City and has been surging at rates as high as 50 percent since 2020. Felony assaults in New York are up 17 percent.
In August, Adams said NYC was too crime-ridden for illegal immigrants who were getting off buses anywhere else but the Big Apple as they were being transported up from Texas.Join and support independent free thinkers!
